Winston Churchill

an audience hanging on to each and every word. Out of the many Orators and their wonderful speeches I have chosen to analyze the language used in the following four speeches: Martin Luther King’s I have a dream, Sojourner Truth’s Ain’t I a woman, Winston churchill’s Blood, Toil, Sweat and Tears, and lastly Mark Twain’s Speech to Misses Tewksbury’s school of girls on Smoking, Drinking and Lying. These four speeches exemplify the fact that even though there variety of techniques that can be used…

that says how something should be done"(Merriam-Webster, 2015, Web). For some, regulations are a necessity for society to function without chaos. For others, regulations can lead to social unrest. Winston Churchhill stated, "If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law."(Churchill, 1949, Web) Regulations divide society into two factions, those that rally for less rules and laws and those that feel more regulations should be placed on society…

The difference between the American’s direct strategy and the peripheral strategy of the British focused on Prime Minster Winston Churchill’s traditional approach through a naval based power and a large army by fighting small peripheral operations to gradually weaken the enemy. The United States with a powerful army felt a stronger direct fighting force of the German Army was the most effective strategy. The United States commanders argued for the invasion of France to end the war in Europe.…

Success is defined as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose, while failure is stated to be the lack of success. The world is full of successful failures. Not many people know how times someone has actually had to fail before they succeeded in life. People include Walt Disney, J.K. Rowling, and Theodor Seuss Geisel better known as Dr. Seuss.
